I have been looking at the different cardio machines and the home units are so shitty in build that I decided to buy a commercial elliptical unit to add to our home gym. The cost was hefty but I purchase a commercial unit that has Bluetooth, fan, sound system, heart rate monitor and all the good gizmos. I normally lift and use the elliptical every other day. If I use the elliptical more I actually start to look Ethiopian ( I have no problem losing weight). My wife on the other hand doesn't like to lift much so here it is:

In the condition they are in, if you don't get at least £300 for them you are being robbed!

If you got them cleaned up, even just Silvit on the metal and bulling the scabbard you should at least expect £700. If you get them proffessionally cleaned like you are thinking I'd say a lot more.

I've attended a lot of Militaria fairs in my time and for instance a 1917 pattern SMLE Sword bayonet can fetch up to £200 in even manky condition (common issue to British and Australian troops) So your little beauties which I'd say would be a lot rarer should fetch a nice price.

Keep us all up to tabs on how you get along :-)
